I got launch console and it's a blue tinted screen, and I got 2 consoles in September and they both are red/yellow tinted screen, from colour calibration point of view, yellow/warm tinted screen is more accurate and close to sRGB standard
 
Blue doesn't kill off your eyes at night, yellowish white is due to screen being factory new.
 
Although I voted for console #2, there are a few things to note here:

- The glue/lamination layer of the display may cause a temporary change in colour temperature of the displayed image. This can change over time so the consoles may look different later.
- Apparently previous system updates affected colour temperature of the display.
- The camera used to take the picture may have been in auto mode instead of being manually calibrated. A colour balance shift may have automatically been applied and as a result what we see may not be the same as what the consoles actually look like.
- The devices we use to browse GBAtemp are all different and may have different colour calibrations, so what I’m seeing may not be the same as what others are seeing.
 
So you think buying 3 Switches to get the "best" screen is reasonably testing? This law is to protect buyer from fraud, not that someone can compare three products, get the marginal "best" one and send the rest back. This makes me sick, sorry dude.

Agreed. I could go buy 20 of these things, open all of them, "test" them, choose the best and return the 19 I didn't want. After all that the store would have to either send 19 back to Nintendo to refurbish or sell them as open box, completely obliterating their profits on the lot, not just the one I kept. This OP is pretty ignorant for thinking this costly behavior is intended by a consumer protection law. Even with the 3 he bought he probably cost the company money because they have to deal with the 2 he is going to return. Now if that company is a huge place like Amazon, then I have no problem with it, but if it is a place that lives on tight margins with small to medium margins, then he is hurting a small business that has enough trouble staying profitable as it is.
